How Thugs Acting White While Keeping it Real

Black folks believe “Acting White” is aspiring
to read, get an education, speak with good diction and dressing well. However,
they never think to call the Negroes in their communities who emulate White
criminals “Acting White.” Negroes who run around wearing T-shirts with images
of mobsters like Al Capone, talk about La Cosa Nostra, being Dons and being
Mafioso, are making an effort to emulate the behavior of White people, but
these individuals are never mocked and shamed for their efforts to “Act White”.

For years rappers like Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z
and countless others have run around imitating mobsters. But not a single Negro
has ever said they were “Acting White”.

And countless Negroes in inner-city
neighborhood have posters of Scarface and The Godfather on their walls. They
can recite every single line from these movies. They dress just like the
characters from these movies. But not a single Negro has ever said these Negroes
were “Acting White.”

These Negroes run around talking about Mafioso and
how “gangsta” they are, but not a single Black person ever challenges them on
how they’ve forsaken their Black identity for a White one. Not a single Negro
calls them an Uncle Tom or a Sellout.

How is this blatant attempt to copy White
people acceptable to Black people, but efforts to pursue education like our ancestors
such as Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells and Mary Mcleod Bethune did not? How
did emulating Black behaviors that were part of Black culture for generations turn
into a “White” thing to do?

Why are these Negroes who talk about wanting to
be like White mobsters and White criminals not called Uncle Toms and sellouts?
Clearly they act like sellouts. They betray their Black identity. They aspire
to be like White people. If they had the chance to abandon the Black community and
be with White people, they’d probably take it.

But in the Black community these Sellout Negroes
are considered “Real” Black people. The kind of Negroes other Negroes want to be
down with.

Many in the Black community believe it’s okay
for a Black person to copy a White Mobster but not okay for a Black person to
emulate the behavior of their Black ancestors. It clearly shows how backwards
Black people are regarding their identity.

Black people want to be like Italian Mobsters
who call them coons, darkies, and spooks. People who if a Negro came into their
neighborhoods would chase them out with baseball bats. People who would call
them Nigger to their face.

But those same Negroes will say Black man who
reads and speaks with good diction and emulates the behavior of their ancestors
such as Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Malcolm X is “Acting White”.
A Black man who participates in Group Economics and makes efforts to improve
the quality of life in his community such as Marcus Garvey is a “sellout”.

Insane. Just insane.

Even more insane are the Negroes who will run
around with swastika T-shirts and tattoo their arms with Nazi Symbols. Even
though the late Adolf Hitler clearly stated he hated Negroes back in World War
II. And if he got his way he’d exterminate the mongrel Niggers in his effort to
make the earth a perfect place for his Aryan Master Race.

The Negros’ way of thinking is clearly
backwards and dysfunctional. I’d say most are so used to Madison Avenue
advertisers and Hollywood entertainers defining their Black identity that they’re
confused. “Real” Black people want to be like White mobsters and White
criminals, but Black people who aspire to follow in the footsteps of their
Black ancestors are considered to be “Acting White”.

Sometimes I have to wonder if the Black
community is Bizarro World. Because the logic of the Negro is absolutely backwards.
Negroes walk away from their own culture so they can embrace the cultures of
racists who wouldn’t piss on them.

Again, Insane. Just insane.

What’s most sad about the “Real” Black people
who are truly “Acting White” is that they never come to understand they are
living embodiments of what sellout truly is. While they can point at Clarence
Thomas, OJ Simpson or Halle Berry as a sellout, they can never see people such
as Notoious. B.I.G, Jay-Z, Tupac and Lil’ Kim as sellouts too. Nor can they see
the sellout who is staring at them in the mirror every day.

It’s
sad many Black people will never come to love being Black. And even sadder that
they call efforts to embrace true Black culture “Acting White”. These people will
never discover the what’s great about being Black. They never get to see what’s
beautiful and unique about being Black. And because their whole vision of Black
is distorted by a White Supremacist perception of color they never come to see
what’s great about their culture.
